Well, one thing which you could do is to use the scout's honor protocol: define all of your private methods or protected methods according to some naming convention, say, beginning with 'p' followed by two underbars (p__) for private methods. Then, use an 'honor lock'; only call such functions from authorized locii such as own classes for private methods or derived classes for protected functions and so forth... -l -- Share your feedback at Affero: http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=leed_25
